This book was unlike any I've read before, plot-wise. Comedic and grim at the same time, very confusing at times, philosophical, with real world implications and valuable social commentary. Surreal, speculative, postmodern.
Lovable and fascinating Dirk Gently-esque protagonist - an 80 year old whacky professor in the body of a 36 year old whacky professor. Equally fascinating antagonist; a mix of real motive and Bond villain melodrama.
